Never miss a local story.

In what was a rare slugfest at a ballpark where home runs go to die, the Marlins and Rockies put on a power show, and the best place to catch the action was left field, because that’s where all but one of the eight homers ended up. It was the most home runs ever hit in a game at Marlins Park, breaking the previous mark by one.

And the major-league record was obliterated.

The previous record for most runs in which solo homers accounted for all the scoring was five.

The bash-a-thon began in the first when Ozuna and Giancarlo Stanton went deep for back-to-back shots off Rockies starter Jorge De La Rosa. The homer for Stanton was his first since May 24, and they were the first back-to-back homers of the season for the Marlins.

The Rockies got into the power act in a big way in the second, but not without controversy.

Trevor Story, Mark Reynolds and Nick Hundley each homered off Paul Clemens, who was making his first major-league start since 2014. The Marlins had called up Clemens to replace Justin Nicolino in the rotation, and the outing wasn’t without its moments.

But Story hit his homer after he swung and missed at what the Marlins argued was strike three. Even though replays showed the ball never struck Story’s bat, home plate umpire Ron Kulpa called it a foul ball.

Kulpa might have been thrown off by the sound of the ball striking Story’s right shoulder. Though umpires went to replay to look at the call, the play was not reviewable and Story was given another chance.

He hit Clemens’ next pitch over the fence.

After giving up three homers in the second, Clemens walked three batters in a scoreless fourth.
